FNDM PSA
if you tag your post with "anti rwde" as two words or "anti-rwde" it still shows up in the rwde tags. Use "antirwde" instead ✌
#this is both for the people who don't want rwde posters interacting with their posts#AND for the sake of the rwde tag and posters there#a lot of them are literally just critiquing the show without malicious intent#so they tag it with rwde so you can filter it out if you don't wanna see it#but now the rwde tag is full of 'anti-rwde' tags which kinda defeats the purpose#so many posts about how awful everyone who posts in rwde is and how everyone there has the same opinion#please guys... not all fans have the same opinions and takes; nor do all critics (also you can be a fan AND a critic)#what a concept! Enjoying something and wanting to analyze it and not always being 100% happy with it? Impossible#sorry lol just a lil salty#I don't like posts calling the fndm braindead simps and I don't like posts calling critics bigoted idiot assholes#there are toxic people in the fndm and in rwde (and there are fans in rwde)#I've seen death threats from and to both groups#while it's good to be conscious of toxicity - please let's not add to it? Go ahead and debate individual posts/takes! Discussion is good!#that's the point of tags like rwde and crtq and r/rwbycritics - the goal is (or should be) discussion#but attacking groups as a whole as if they're a monolith is exhausting and not conducive to a healthy fandom environment#a lot of the hate comes from WITHIN the fndm! just look at how rg shippers are treated#pssssssst I've posted in the rwde tag before! And you know me! I'm nice!#sometimes I go to the rwde tag to look for genuine analysis of things I wish had gone differently#I don't always agree with what I read there but I like seeing other opinions and interpretations I otherwise wouldn't be exposed to#I've presented counterarguments to posts in rwde before and had a good discussion where we both got more perspective :)#and now all I see are insults and generalizations of everyone who dares imply the show is flawed - everything is! And subjective!#so let people discuss subjective thoughts without lumping them all together and projecting political opinions on them#Not saying you shouldn't express your thoughts on what's being said in rwde btw! There ARE hateful people and harmful assertions there#just that maybe don't do it in that tag if you're gonna be antagonistic about it? and stop sending death threats?#this isn't meant to diminish hateful people - just don't assume people are hateful because they *checks notes* dislike parts of rwby#and I really hope I'm wrong but... part of me wonders if people use the two word anti rwde tag on purpose so rwde posters see the insults.#this sounds more accusatory than I intended... sorry. I don't think y'all have bad intentions with those posts and not all are antagonistic#and a lot of those posts are from people I know are kindhearted#I just wanted to make a psa so I don't have to read insults at me every time I check the rwde tag for new points of view :/#tl;dr: counter the individual points being made by the people making them rather than insulting the concept of diverging from the consensus
